To see the flash in the window is a little distracting - but this is still a beautiful shot. So clear! And the color against the "blah" of the outside is lovely. I really like this.
The flower contrasts nicely against the background. However I think it could have been much better without the glass behind it distorting the background. The glass picks up the flash and it also has condensation on it. But I think it's a nice image.
A good idea, but the flash reflection in the window reminds me there is a sheet of glass between the flower and the snow. Otherwise, good composition. (the rules on spot editing really are a burden on this shot.)
Great concept! I love the color against the backdrop of greytones, but the colors could have been more saturated. A bit dark in the leaves below. Also, the glare above the upper right petal is distracting, as well as, the leaves in the upper right. I think many of your problems could have been avoided with softer light and better in-camera cropping. One more thing is the flower is too centered. Hope this was helpful and you didn't find it too harsh of a critique.
The flower is awesome! The way it looks against the background is even better. My only pick on your background is the hot spots. I have 2 of these plants in this same color. Nice work. :-)
